--------------------------------------
[~nimartin], somehow two issues got created for this (HIVE-9384 and HIVE-9385).
> Sum a Double using an ORC table
> -------------------------------
>
> Key: HIVE-9385
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-9385
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 0.13.1
> Environment: HDP 2.x, Hive
> Reporter: Nick Martin
> Priority: Minor
>
> I’m storing a sales amount column as a double in an ORC table and when I do:
> select sum(x) from sometable
> I get a value like 4.79165141174808E9
> A visual inspection of the column values reveals no glaring anomalies…all
> looks pretty normal.
> If I do the same thing in a textfile table I get a perfectly fine aggregation
> of the double field.
